Near the end of grueling testimony during which she was repeatedly grilled on the disastrous rollout of the Affordable Care Act, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius was caught on a hot mic whispering to a colleague, "Don't do this to me."
It wasn't immediately clear what she was referring to.
But her aside came during a line of questioning in which Republican members of Congress repeatedly questioned her on whether she would be willing to enroll in the federal health insurance exchanges under Obamacare.

I was going to go with this story but the title was just too long to make it work.
>> “Don’t do this to me.”
She was repeating the #1 complaint about ObamaCare.
“Don’t do this to me”
I wish someone could post the details of the exchange when this comment was caught. I watched the testimony and did not catch it.
Well, Madame Secretary, you are willing enough to do it to OTHER people. Don’t THEY have feelings too?>?
That is all I can say absent more info about when the comment was captured.
Still, a good quote. This quote and its context should not be lost.
Tell that to your constituents — She said “don’t do it to me”; why is she any better than you, who have lost your promised plans that you liked?
o I forgot; in her world, some animals are more euqual than others, and the ones who are more equal are the pigs;
yet — her comment shows a spark of humanity in her — finally. Don’t do it to ME. Maybe she could realize that the people she is sticking it to, are just as human as she is? have feelings and concerns as she does? ok she just showed a bit of humanity. ok exploit her moment of weakness, apply her human reaction to the people she and o scare are hurting. She would let a babe be pulled from the womb but she herself does not want to be hurt. To want not to be hurt is a universal reaction of humanity.
Don’t IOW let her get away with this one.
What a quote!
Tonight I watched the first 5 mins of ABC news (with JournoList Stephanopolus), something I do maybe a half dozen times / yr.
I was shocked at how hard they hit this story, for the duration I thought we were back in the Bush era.
A variation of “don’t taze me bro?”
please share the details, I would like to know that take as I missed it. Thanks! Servus!
BUMP and that is the POINT!~
"Kathy, why the long face?"
Cruella, Cruella, Cruella................
Does Katey deliberately go for the plastic look?
Not only a long face but very very long ear lobes. She should stop wearing pierced earrings. Really. I feel sorry for her, with her ear lobes looking like they will give way and drop her expensive earrings.
If she did not have such expensive heavy earrings maybe she would have HEALTHY ear lobes. HA! Is that covered under o scare??
HA!

This picture proves my point about the earlobes. She has a fraction of an inch left, before her earlobes give way and her earrings drop on the floor. She doesn’t have enough sense to stop wearing pierced earrings, yet she is in charge of O scare? HA@! Her earlobes are scary enough. HA!
The questions were not as apathetic, as that many of them allowed her to talk over them with her salesman talking points.
I hope they follow up on all the documents they asked her to provide. And the answers to all the questions she did not know enough to answer.
